Intrigued by Alexa?Interested in creating customer experiences that touch the heart of the household? We are building one of the most personal services for Alexa - the cloud service that powers Amazon’s groundbreaking Echo devices. We believe voice is the most natural user interface for interacting with technology across many domains.

The successful candidate will be highly analytical, able to work well in a matrix organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities into high quality, simple products and applications that customers cannot do without.
